rugburn that sounds really cool i would love to hear how it works out
The pond proved its ability to produce big fish, but the low oxygen condition did it in during a long winter ice over. From what I've read during my research is that the oxygen pump can be a huge factor in fish growth rates. I have installed a Hiblow diaphragm pump, which reliably runs nice and quiet. I put it on a timer and run it during daylight hours in the winter and I'll switch to nighttime hours during the heat of the summer. The recent thread on the confusing proposed rule changes validates my efforts to be self-reliant.
